If you were going to get an antelope mounted where would your cut off be as far as score? For instance, for me on whitetail I won't get anything mounted unless it scores 150" or higher. I'm thinking with a goat of it isn't 80" or higher not to get it mounted. What do you guys determine is a...

Starting to get the groups I'm looking for with my smokeless muzzleloader. Antelope season is September here in Nebraska and if I draw a tag I want to be dialed in out to 600 yards. It's great to get one hole groups at 100 yards but when your shooting longer ranges it's almost a waste of time...

Todays goal was to check the Nikon Prostaff 5 3.5-14x40 XR tracking capabilities and then back out to 400 yards. I remounted the scope onto a 20moa weaver one piece base. Everything lined up great didn't need to bed the base which was a plus. I have a lot more adjustment now in my scope however...

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this scope even though it's pretty new? What their thoughts are on tracking and durability? I just purchased it but haven't had allot of time getting use to it. Thanks

Shot my first mule deer last December with my custom smokeless muzzleloader. Shot was only 150 yards however the deer didn't move an inch. Hit him in the left front shoulder and excited out behind the right front shoulder. Deer dropped in its tracks! Saw a ton of deer and already looking forward...

I've been in Nebraska for three years and for the three years I have been researching and scouting antelope. I have a spot I have picked out only because a group of guys and I are going there to go fishing for 5 days. I've mule deer hunted there late muzzleloader season and saw a few goats. So I...

Just got back from my Mulie hunting trip and had a great time. This was our first trip out there and figured it was more of a scouting trip rather than hunting. I managed to find a group of does and a small 2x2 in a group. I talked to the Game and Parks and they told me to hang around the does...

Okay so I ordered the Public Land Mulies "Bottom Line" book and have been reading it everyday at work and picking up a lot of good info, however I have realized that it is for the farther west states and I am hunting Nebraska up in the north central part of the state, sandhills. I plan on doing...

Few weeks ago I went on a hunt/scouting trip up north with a friend from church. We had a great time scouting and trying to find turkeys however I am not sure I would like to go with him again. Just don't feel he is a good fit for me. My question is for you guys who have life long hunting...

I am looking at going Elk hunting in 2013 and starting to buy things that I will need for a pack in hunt. My question is if you were planning on staying in for around 5 to 7 days how big of pack would you need (cubic inches)? Thanks for any suggestions. Nebraska Outlander

I went on a four day scouting trip and ended up seeing two Antelope. I found a lot of tracks that looked like deer but around half the size of deer. Either there are a lot fawns running around or they were Antelope tracks. However I am not sure so I thought I would ask you guys here. :) Are...

Last night my wife and I got to go out on a date for the first time since we had our daughter on Nov 10 2010. I was pretty excited to just go out and enjoy this nice weather we have been having. Either way long story short we couldn't make it to the movie because our super ran later than...

I've already done some research and been trying to soak up as much as I can. Antelope hunting is new to me and I want to know and learn as much as possible. So any suggestions are appreciated!!! :) I am going to be archery hunting in the state of Nebraska. I already have a spotting scope...

I've never gotten to go hunting out west and it's looking like I am getting to go this next year. My question is when you start spotting game how far are you generally spotting game from (ex. 400 yards 800 yards, or farther)?? Nebraska Outlander

Went out and shot the Optima Elite today and 106 yard yard group measured around 1 1/2 inches. With a hot barrel and a body starting to get tired I was happy with the group. I pulled the last shot which gave me the upper right hole however I am ready to start checking my farther ranges which...

I just recently went to Scheels to look at there spotting scopes and ask a few questions. Yet I don't feel they helped me that well at least to a point. I am looking for a good quality spotting scope and look at trying to save a little money to get a better glass. Right now from previous...
